It's three years since Olympus launched its flagship OM-D E-M1 Micro Four Thirds camera and today at Photokina the E-M1 Mark II was launched. The new camera will ship before the end of this year. Journalists will get hands-on with evaluation units that are near enough production quality in early November. There are also two new Pro lenses, a super bright 25mm f/1.2 and a 12-100mm f/4 superzoom and a FL-900R flash.

Panasonic Lumix has confirmed its development of a successor to its flagship GH4 Micro Four Thirds camera; the GH5. There are also three new premium Leica DG Vario-Elmarit zoom lenses with f/2.8-4.0 maximum aperture ranges.

Several years of development, innovation and customer interaction have culminated in the new BlackRapid Breathe range of camera straps that have been designed to deliver a higher level of comfort and performance.
